A pattern for building personal knowledge bases using LLMs.

This is an idea file, it is designed to be copy pasted to your own LLM Agent (e.g. OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode / Pi, or etc.). Its goal is to communicate the high level idea, but your agent will build out the specifics in collaboration with you.

Most people's experience with LLMs and documents looks like RAG: you upload a collection of files, the LLM retrieves relevant chunks at query time, and generates an answer. This works, but the LLM is rediscovering knowledge from scratch on every question. There's no accumulation. Ask a subtle question that requires synthesizing five documents, and the LLM has to find and piece together the relevant fragments every time. Nothing is built up. NotebookLM, ChatGPT file uploads, and most RAG systems work this way.

Use this as a baseline across all Macs to reduce exposure to fast-moving supply-chain attacks, where a malicious package version is published, installed by early updaters, then removed hours later.

The default policy I would use is:

• Personal/dev machines: 3 days.
• CI and production lock refresh jobs: 3 to 7 days.
• Emergency security fixes: bypass deliberately, one package at a time, with a reviewed lockfile diff.

Step 1: Purge the Broken Driver

First, ensure you thoroughly remove the old repository from the DKMS registry and clear the directory:

sudo dkms remove -m mt76 -v 1.0 --all sudo rm -rf /usr/src/mt76-1.0

Step 2: Download the Correct MT7902 Kernel 6.19 Repository

See bootableinstaller.com

If your Mac is out-of-order or you otherwise cannot download macOS from the App Store, you can still create a bootable OS X recovery USB, and you can use that to create an Installer USB.

The downloads used in this process are legal and freely avaliable - including disk images directly from Apple's IT support pages, and open source utilities for extracting and converting pkg, dmg, and HFS+.
